- An anonymous Medium post accused Howard University law student Tyrone Hankerson, Jr. of embezzling more than $400,000 from the financial aid office. The post, which has since been deleted, has caused a scandal at Howard University. Hankerson and his attorney, James Walker, join CBSN to discuss the allegations and what has happened to Hankerson since.
Not only are the allegations false, they're also not true lol
Annette Goka you finish or you done 🤔
HaRVeY DeNt LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Birdman 😂😂😂
💀💀💀💀💀
lmfaooo
If he manages to get away with it, Wall Street firms will be climbing over each other to hire him.
why is that?
Dan Sanger yet 99% of wall street stockbrokers are white
Who’s going to tell him ^ lolll
If he were white maybe...
Ain't that the truth 😂
Tamar’s husband done dug up that wig & said call me Johnnie Cochran
Rose 3 no YOU DIDN'T 😂😂😂😂 I am hollering!!!
💀💀💀😂😂😂
😂😂😂💀💀💀I’m weak
staaahhhhhp!!! #dead
Rose 3 LMAOOOO he sure did damn vince 😂😂😂
Another semester down. Another bag secured 😂
SSJ Flash he sho said it!!
priveyful I loved that caption, it's the ultimate finesse quote lmao
Right!!😂😂😂😂
That's called a confession lmao
top 5 caption all time
He probably was shown favoritism by university officials. Which is a problem in higher education, no matter the institution in my opinion. Yet, favoritism is not a crime even though it should not exist. To me, he is being scapegoated which is unfortunate. He has never been accused of, or charged with a crime related to this issue. Rather, someone seemed to want to make this guy the poster-boy for the university’s mis-management. With all his fashions, the guy is an easy target.
Preach man I agree one hundred percent.
Exactly we love him and support him. He is a brilliant young man hardworking and has a 4.0 Gpa
This couldn’t have been said better. I wholeheartedly agree. If I were him I’d get legal advice and take action against the blog post, school/administration and anyone who can be identified harassing him. I pray that this all goes away soon and he is able to pick back up and finish law school to be a successful lawyer one day. And maybe do a few pro bono cases that remind him of this event in the future to help other students or people experiencing what he has. Godspeed
Completely agree with you and his persecution in the public is terrible. He didn't work hard all those years to end up like this...
Guilty by association he might not be the sole source of coordination but he participated in what was going on. He personally was sending emails to the students that in turn had to leave the school. If he's innocent why would he think it's not strange to be generating that much money of his own for simply being a student worker. It's like Robert Deniro in Goodfellas said "don't buy anything big ". He might have been able pass about loans but the numbers and activity is too high just to say you were an excellent student.Flashin too hard.
Howard student: where’s my financial aid package?
HU financial aid office: *erykah badu voice* you betta caaaallll tyyrrrrooonneee
asseater007 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol🤣🤣
Lmao
🏆
The ugliest cackle just erupted from my mouth
I'm sorry, I know this is a serious situation but I can't help but notice something. The attorney looks like Tamar Braxton's husband Vincent Herbert😂🤣. Why isn't anyone talking about this😂.
Same thing i said!!
IAmEssence that man has the same skin color, look and weight of Vincent. It's uncanny! I couldn't even focus on what Tyrone was talking about cause I kept giggling at his attorney😂
I thought the same thing 😂
Chanel Eva it's hilarious! He even has a slight lisp like Vincent 🤦♀️
Show do! 😂😂😂
Sorry. Tyrone is in on this. But he is not alone.
He's lying. He was an administrator's boy toy
LaToya Jordan Taylor right!! And it will come out! How are you a work study student with furs and Gucci bags?? How Tyrone?
LaToya Jordan Taylor He’s gay?
Dominique Music Diva idk...but he could be a male or female's boy toy
Most definitely. Is your gaydar that bad?
B Deleonne I think so but tried not to say it... lol...you know some guys claim to be just effeminate lol
"Easter service", "therapy", "bullying", "safety concerns", "target me", "these times" eww that boy good
Sis was using those buzz words wasn’t she? 😩😂
The Angry Engineer LMAO LMAO, y'all got me laughing hysterically.
Mel S Whatever, they owe him, and I want him to get every cent of that 10 Million he suing them for.
Corey Braxton he won't get 10 million.
He probably didn't take the money....not directly that is.
Trace Ford My thoughts too.
Where are the 1098- T documents ... his tax returns or his parents tax returns (if they claimed him while in school) will reflect the receipt of scholarship and grant money
Anyone who saw his files knows that his "loans" were only $500 at most. His grants, however, exceeded the cost of attendance by THOUSANDS. This is a cover up!
B Deleonne Sisss huh, I'm lost if you break down the calculation over the course of 7 years it makes sense. A loan for $500 really we dont even have receipts to make statements like that .🙄
Actually we do have those receipts
Trevis Lanier I gotta see it.
And a lot of others. HU only lets you receive up to there total amount of attendance 45K even with summer school and study abroad opportunities it wouldn’t be that much he received 78K one year. In that 45K you are already getting a refund his refunds per semester were averaging 15K versus the standard 6-7K. That’s wrong for two reasons by policy and the fact that after his needs were meet he received more. He may not have done it but he was in on it somehow. Not trying to down him or anything but I’m just going off what I see and the rules and regulations of the University. She also mentioned the 500$ in an awarded loan because if your need is 0 the award should have been more. Even if you don’t need that much the offer is true to your information $500 means you can get it and it’s not easy to get approved since the policy has changed. That’s weird too. Not only that if you’re on a full ride scholarship why did you have
Trevis Lanier what about his grades plus loan. In my postgrad we had students taking out mad loans to fund their lavish living only to realize the interest rate post grad is a MF.
I think he was probably shocked that the school was awarding him a grant even though his aid was enough to already meet his need. But as most people benefiting from a system flaw or something that seems internally inept and malfeasant, if you are benefiting from it, why call it into question?? I worked in financial aid for 3 schools. I even at one point worked on a temporary basis in Howard's finance office. There is no way he as a student would have been able to award any funds to himself nor disburse funds to himself. I think the full time financial aid employees knew there was a system flaw but they rolled with it, got paid, and eventually lost their jobs. He is in the clear. Hankerson didn't steal anything. And now his reputation is ruined because the school mishandled his financial aid, then leaked his files. He has a very good lawsuit. But he better hope he has a white jury. Because no matter how much you explain this to Black people, they keep thinkin Tyrone was in there putting money in his account. He had no means or access to do that.
There was no crime committed. If there was a crime, he would have already been in jail. The school cannot go after him ctiminally because there was no system in place for him to award himself and disburse himself all that money. He just benefited financially from going to a school that is heavily financially mismanaged.
His lawyer look and sound like Vincent Herbert... Miss thang stole that money!
Lester Mayers 😂😂
You know he has not been accused or charged with anything right?
Don Mensah not yet, but he will be
Lester Mayers LOL "Miss thang"!!😂😂😂😭😭😭
THe TEA 🍵 ☕️!!!!
I’m disgusted at the way he’s playing victim after being ousted for his embezzlement scheme...
But where’s the receipts?
Tomeka Bright he wasn't one of the ones fired... He was a student and didn't have access
Corey Braxton I know he wasn’t fired but I think he knows more than what he’s putting out... I think it’s more than just favoritism and good grades as to how he received so much assistance!
Tomeka Bright if he didn't issue the funds to himself as a student, then it's not illegal. Believe me, if they felt that he committed a crime he would not still be a student at the university. He's being used as a scapegoat the real people at fault are most likely the 6 people fired.
Corey Braxton well that’s to be determine. There could be many reasons as to why he wasn’t flagged or kept out the loop. Obviously someone blew the whistle on the situation that’s why it made national news. Until the University, his lawyer or if an active investigation exonerates him then I’m not changing my opinion.
He seems to be telling the truth.... He's being straight forward, has open body language, etc.... I hope he really didn't do it n will be cleared.
STUNT QUEEN!!!!!!!!
Yaaaassss!
Sword Fighter giving u an old nasty vibranium Chelsea boot
To do what with?
His picture should be in the damm dictionary
Exactly loooool
The dramatic pause took me out ..
*ITS LIE'RONE!* 😂
Teddy Marian Haaaaaa😂😂😂
Teddy Marian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭💀
Teddy Marian 🤣🤣🤣🤣
His attorney is terrible..It’s very unusual to let your clients speak for themselves so much. Everything he says can be held against him in legal proceedings.
Tyrone is a law student. He still wants to be an attorney. Who would hire an attorney that can't represent themselves? No one. His attorney is just there as a formality and for moral support. FYI I'm on the students whose money was embezzled side, this is terrible. So I'm giving you unbiased facts about all law students, being accused of anything illegal, lol.
point well taken..I stand corrected
Stevie Sosa, Actually, no good attorney would try to represent themselves. It's too much of a stretch to be a counselor, advocate, and client all at the same time. I would hope this "family friend" is there for more than reasons of formality.
Dave Ha, Your point was not incorrect. Being a law student does not imply that someone accused of wrongdoing does not need vigorous legal representation.
He was the fall guy! I believe him.
🕴️🕴️smooth criminal 🕺🕺
Brittany D - Tell me again, what criminal act has the Howard University administration (not talking about students or court of public opinion) accused Tyrone Hankerson of committing? Absolutely nothing.
Lmao
He may just be innocent. Once this is all said and done all will be revealed.
Seem like the world believes guilty til proven innocent
Slam Dunk47 Isn’t that always the case because when these youths who dress a certain way, walk a certain way, talk a certain way are shot down in the streets. They are guilty and while resting in their graves, proven innocent.
Tal B that is correct. I feel they need to make this statement official so the rest of the world could know. I watched a man be arrested in store and he kept asking the officer, if he mind telling him what he did wrong. Later on that night the man on the news stating the police falsely arrested him. It’s a shame but we are going back in time.
*Sounds to me like he's painting a "preparation lawsuit" against Howard picture* 😒
Jessica Beee i saw that when he released his initial statement
Oh he's definitely going to sue...
Jessica Beee yaaaasssss!!!! Lol! as he should!
I'd do the same, if he's innocent it sucks because the internet loves to drag people before the whole picture.
Yes... let that lawsuit be filed the day AFTER graduation when he's already got his transcripts sent to prospective employers.
U know how in poker people have “tells”. Well watch when he’s about to answer a question and watch how he rocks the chair. Brother ur a hu law student who studied abroad and participated in numerous mock trials why so nervous? And if u did nothing wrong nor being investigated why have a lawyer present for ur interview? And FYI need base grants at hu don’t exceed 5-10k
Dorian Pinckens I noticed that too. It was very distracting
Dorian Pinckens a person's posture will tell you everything, that interview with Roland was even more telling ... with roland he spoke of a university slush fund from which he received the need based money .... he should stop interviewing and obtain legal counsel that know this type of work
He also received merit based scholarships, which he more than likely used to fund his extravagant lifestyle
What is the proof that he embezzled the funds?
His interview with Roland Martin was really good, and I'd encourage anyone who actually cares about that case to watch it in full.
This is like entertainment for the people who are making memes of this man, but shouldn't there be more evidence of guilt before people start roasting him?
Axiom Amnesia google his financial record. That will drastically change your opinion
Thanks for your response! We actually have the screenshots that are circulated and have done quite a bit of commentary on the case on our channel.
When you consider the cost of HU undergrad and law school, the total amount he received doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Law school is about 60K each year for three years, and his schooling cost about 45K for the one undergrad year they have listed.
We invite you to watch the commentaries we've done on this case and see if you still have the same opinion of the story.
Cat, the financial records might not say all that people think. We discussed them in detail recently.
Cat, you can find the discussion on the financial records here: czcams.com/video/luzoIEWaVUY/video.html
If he is guilty than why no one have file criminal charges against him? Probably because the accusations are false.
Phillip Malveaux can’t prove he did anything wrong
He took out loans for Law School
No loans during undergraduate.
But theyre gonna sue Howard
Howard University needs to apologize??? If Bill Clinton lied in front of the whole country on the news so can Tyrone. Howard University needs to continue investing.
that's the face of a scammer
He’s a God at the Art Of Finesse #Blackexcellence
What's the point in saying "he's lying". Why didn't they kick him out then?
You guys just want to wish people bad you don't even use logic.
That dudes lawyer sounds and looks like Tamar husband Vince
He is graduating next month with honor from law school , yet his life is being wreak havoc out of jealousy BC HE IS FASHIONABLE. WILL BLACK MEN EVER GET A BREAK?
I think you better call Tyrone, Hold up, but you can't use my phone.
more financial aid departments need to be investigated
any update on this?
I dont trust nobody named Tyrone no more, Lawd!!!😩😂😑
I HOPE JAIL HAS A GUCCI JUMPER AND GUCCI SLIPPERS WITH HER NAME ON IT
Aden Clave he didn't steal anything, at most he was shown favoritism
So if he wasn't employed during law school..how does he have money for an attorney? not to mention the expensive EVERYTHING.
Am I the only one who believes him?
The student more articulate and professional than the lawyer
Student-workers don't handle money besides maybe handling someone's payment. But store clerks do that as well
A therapist, and mentioning of "bullying"? Oh this clown is about to FINESSE a lovely STUNTED lawsuit!!!
Lmao Tyrone!
SHE ALSO PICK OUT HER LAWYER OUTFITS..... SMART GURL....BUT YOU ARE STILL GOING TO JAIL... OKAY
Aden Clave 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
So where did he get all that money from? I’m a little confused here bcos they is no university job you can hold as a student or student loan that will afford you such a luxurious lifestyle.
Bro could be bussin it open for rich dudes. Howard is in DC. A lot of money and a lot of gay people
Lol the question nobody is asking is who tf receives that much money in loans for school? That's almost a small business loan amount. Law school does not cost that much or am I wrong?
Omar Ibrahim Howard is a private institution. He went there for undergrad as well so yes it can cost that much.
He said Howard Law costs $60K per year... that's $180K for law school alone.
mr big he didn't steal it, favoritism is not illegal
Actually Mr. Big, the total expected cost of attendance from Howard Law School's website is over 60K...
law.howard.edu/content/faqs-frequently-asked-questions
He wants to be a star so bad
This just took a crazy turn.
"I've had emergency appointments with my therapist"???? 😩
As someone who also worked in the financial aid dept during my doctoral studies, there is absolutely no way he could have stolen the money. Students don't have access to that. His records also show that he was awarded academic scholarships, and student loans. The accumulation was both during undergrad and postgraduate. The numbers add up if he took out the full loans awarded for both undergrad and postgraduate along with academic based scholarships. With out knowledge our people will expire. Stop and leave this man alone. Y'all need to stop believing everything you hear in the media and begin to ask questions instead of jumping to conclusions.
KKaoa27 I've been preaching this same sermon, people are so CRAZY.
Tyrone played right into the wave of school shootings with that emotional break. This girl is a force to be reckoned with. 👏
Mel S LMAO LMAO, I'm not doing this with you. LMAO
He never said that the leaked files were false. So the fact of the matter is he received more money than needed to afford attending Howard University. Did he receive a refund check? How was that money spent? As an employee in the financial aid office he had to know that he was getting more aid than you avg student. He was also privy to the fact that his peers were not able to receive aid because funds have run out
He didn't take any money, but he was doused in designers. 😂🤣Sis is MAD frontin!
Lmfaooooo this is so damn scripted. Terribly at that. Give them lie detector tests!
his accent changed too. he's always been well spoken but this accent he puts on ain't his smh!
*Extra points for the waterworks lol
Lie detector tests are unreliable. That’s why they aren’t allowed to be used in court or by employees.
I hope he wins. Universities take advantage of the young adults every single day.
I find this story to be very fishy. If Tyrone was responsible for embezzling more than $400,000 in financial aid funds, why is he still a student? Why has he not been arrested and charged with embezzlement? Also, we have to take into account that he is a student employee. Unless he is a professional hacker or coder, he would not have the administrative rights or permissions to be able to approve and transfer funds. Howard is a lot of things but openly trusting a student with access to their money is not one. I originally saw an article stating that top Howard administrators were being investigated for embezzling funds. All of a sudden this kid is being thrown under the bus. Honestly, I think he is the sacrificial lamb for a greater conspiracy. I feel sorry for him.
It's disgusting how ignorant people are. Have anyone commenting check the story out to find the truth? Instead of adding your ignorant comments. People in this world are so quick to judge others. It's awfull how we treat eachother.
Also how did he get all that money if he didn't steal it? He can't be in work study if his parents are rich.
His Lawyer look Like The Vincent Herbert with a curl
He's a student at the Howard School of Law who is set to graduate in a few weeks, so how could he be guilty of the alleged crimes?
strongforu - He is at Howard Law and will graduate on May 12. The investigation was completed in May 2017, reported to Dept. of Education in July 2017. September 2017, six employees fired( Tyrone was not one of them, he hadn’t worked for HU since spring 2015). To date, HU has not accused him of anything. If Howard felt he had committed any wrongdoing, they would have kicked him out. If they felt he owed them money, he would not be allowed to graduate without paying it.
Sue them.
he stole the money
Stay strong Tyrone. You're gonna be at the Supreme Court someday.
Not only does he look like Vincent Herbert he sounds like him as well lol Vincent with hair
You better calllll Tyronneeeeee
Five words: B*tch better have my money!
He did it..
Dont blame him..blame the law..he is going to win a big lawsuit against howard unv..
He's got all that money, but can't even afford his lawyer and himself to get a proper edge-up. 👀 DOOOOOOON'T...
Umm....is that really a lot of money for a university? 😂😭 I mean that’s how much it costs to cut the damn grass at mine.
Maybe he didn’t steal any money. I owe my institution 45k in loans(not counting state and pell grant) after 4 years of attending. The man did his ungrad and most of his grad work at Howard. Seems plausible to me to accrue that much money over a nine year span.
None of them got fired they asked them to leave .
He knows something but he probably did not do it himself but where are those 5 others why haven’t they spoke out that’s why I say the other employees was balling and they probably have exited the country! That’s why they demanded and apology from the university cause he either covered his tracks well or was too smart to get caught
Why did it look like he was about to cry towards then end??
RecklessInspirer Maybe because he was
The lawyer is getting paid with the money he embezzled
How does he explain his lavish lifestyle while in college as he said quitting his job in order to focus on his law degree!
BX Girl Since when does having a lavish lifestyle mean you embezzle money?
Dang the man defending Tyrone even sounds like Vince (Tamar husband) 😂
He pulls this off then he deserves our respect.
Do this fool think people out there Protesting on their behalf they both bugging people out there trying 2 find out how this fool ran off with 500k
The man working in the financial aid office is getting financial aid. Move along now. No problem here.
I truly hope that Mr. Hankerson is telling the truth.
Why didn't Tyrone get his teeth fix?
I can't wait for this to be on Desus & Mero
Anyone else like "I need to start writing more on Medium" every day...twice a day...lets go
I shot a fair amount of that footage for student media, how do I receive credit and/or money?
5:48 that preplanned pause and deep breath is hilarrrrioussss
He sound like he trying to finish a 1500 word essay. “False and untrue”. Either way #securethebag
LOL and haha.
This kid likes attention. If i were accused of this and know that i did it, i would hide hard af. Shameless
how can a student control funding for financial aid?...
Musa Ali They cant.. He was awarded those dollars...
Interesting .....she could get more dollars outta this .....stunting all the way ....
Idk if this young man is innocent or not, but the way people are dragging him, if he is exonerated, it’s obvious that this young man is gonna sue. He is laying he groundwork for a lawsuit.
dose anybody think the lawyer look like vincent herbert
They need to investigate Virginia union university
He didn't take any money but he about to get paid...
Tyrone has been falsely accused.
313south who is he, that someone would need to frame him???
Kavita8 Where is the proof that he took this money? Because there was a blog post saying he did? A blog post that was deleted the same day. Because he wore expensive clothes? HU never expelled or even named him as one of the employees accused of stealing. Where's the proof?
L A HOW DO YOU KNOW DID YOU DO AN INVESTIGATION LIKE EVERYONE ELSE OR JUST RIDING CZcams'S NUTTS??😕🐶🐶👌✌
how can u afford all those fancy bags, clothes, trips, and shoes as a college student he's a typical gay stunt queen who got caught embezelling
Sheree👀👀👀👀wya wya wya
How you gone do this to ya own people man.
